'Critic in the Cabernet' ep Reaction ***SPOILERS***


***** Spoilers *******


I'll borrow a trick from [info]spacekid77  and post what I just wrote in[info]tempertemper77 's LJ:

I'm still a little shell-shocked from the ending, but the last two minutes were worth the rest of it. 

My initial thoughts:
- The case was crap.  But the two women with babies provided, well, <i>babies</i> for her to pick up and play with.  Meh.
- The baby thing was very jolting, and made her seem even more out there in left field.  Despite all the foreshadowing they have done, it still was a shock.
-Booth was not acting like Booth, but I'll attribute that to the brain tumor.  Of course he would be involved, and I like to think that Stewie was his projection of that even though the tumor was screwing it up. 
- Her reaction to his repeated hallucinations was awesome -  from that moment on the ep was made of win.  She basically made the emotional connection right there.
- Sweets rocked.  His melt-down was priceless and perfect and made me love him a little bit for the first time.  He was a terrified duckling there for a minute.
-Cam and Angela are a shipper's dream.  I love Cam/Booth friendship moments.
-The prep scene onward: I can't say enough about DB, and the range of emotions all over his face.  He so clearly loves her.  And his insistence she 'take his stuff'.  I expected it, but it still hit me hard.  *tears up* 

Gah... I could go on for hours.  Next week can't come soon enough...


ADDENDUM:

In addition to above, most of all I'm a lot anxious about the finale.  I think I have a pretty good theory now that I know the brain issue, but you guys are probably totally sick of my theories. *grins*

I just thought of something... when they first started the word association game and Booth said "Donuts. Glazed donuts. I can see 'em right there."
Do you think he really thought he was seeing a box of donuts? :)

LMAO! That whole word-association game was hysterical. Especially every time he said "whoa" she kept saying "horse".
